R.I.P. Andy. He was great to everyone when he came around locally and i'm sure the same can be said for many across the world. Somebody throw a high-5 for this guy
i just saw this on facebook & thought it was some kind of twisted joke at first, until i followed the links. while i wasn't really a fan of his style, he was a great surfer. he'll be missed, for sure. the really sad part is that he leaves behind a wife who is w/ child.
surfermag said it might be Dengue Fever, which is caused by the bite of mosquitoes, fever over 105, found in indo, northeastern australia, south and central america, sub saharan africa and southeast asia. https://health.google.com/health/ref/Dengue+fever
andy was my favorite surfer... i didnt think this would end up how it did when he couldnt compete in the pro search. RIP
Wow! So shocking and I just watched his " I surf because " video , and it basically showed how he made amends and was about to turn his life around .. best use of your life is to spend it on somthing that would out last it
